Washington is the city of bicycles,
says a correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record. Its smooth streets make it the
best riding town" in the world. There
are two or three flourishing clubs, a
.'cycleries, where you can hire "bike"
or ''trike" by the hour, rs though it
were a livery stable hack, to say nothing
of hundreds of men and women who are
Independent of the formal organizations.
Like bicyclers everywhere, Washing
tonians know that it is their business to
get around pedestrians, and not the bust
ness of the pedestrians to get away from
them. Therefore they regard bells as
useless and lanterns as worse than use
less, because their only effect is to make
the steering hard. But the triumvirate
of District Commissioners take differ
ent view, and among other municipal
regulations just put in force, is. one re-
quiring the bicyclers TO carry and use
both bells and lanterns. This regulation
reused indignation in the bicycler's
breast He complied with it the first
day by hanging a discordant cow-bell on
his machine and carrying a torch
light over his shoulder Thus equipped,
he paraded in large numbers up and
down in front of the residence of the
Commissioners until he had worked off
his spleen. He has come down to the
regulation bell and lamp, however. He
annoyed himself the first day more than
he did the Commissioners.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
How Mnk IS Kcpt swect.

A lady writing to the New York
Bor'd says: Many of your readers prob
ably are not aware that milk can b, pre-
served, the same as fruit Is, by boltling
or canning. It is said tiat milk thus
treated will keep perfectly swee: for
months in cool place. Ihave not made
sufficient trial TO know that it will keep
for that length OF time But during the
hot weather have found this coiiyen-
lent and effectual way of keeping milk
sweet long beyond the time when it would
ordinarily sour. | put fresh milk into
thick glass bottles and set the bottles,
unoorked. into a kettle Of cold water,
which is gradually heated to boiling. and
boi ed about half an hour ! cork the
bottles with rubber corks, while the milk
is still steaming, aud remove from the
kettle Milk prepared thus is especially
good for children and invalids, because
the heat destroys all germs of impurity
and fermentation. 1t is well known that
boiling is recommended for milk and
for water when any doubt exists as TO
their purity. l have found this the best
way to put up milk for use on journey.
When bottle Of milk is opened it should
be used up at once or any that remains
should be thrown away

Raising Telegraph Poles.

at looks easy enough, said super
intendent of the construction depart
ment of telephone company, the other
day to a New York CommeFcidl Adrer-
tiser reporter, ''to put up one of those
sticks, but it isn't so simple as it looks,
by any manner of means. One Of the
first things we meet when we start out is
the public spirited citizen. He don't
want TO have pole in front of his house,
and he generally declares he won't have.
We don't argue with such men, we sim
ply get around bright and early in the
morning, and when Mr.. Man gets up he
sees pole towering up some eighty feet
in the air When we get ready to sink
pole we drop what we call sheer pole
and hold it in place by four guy ropes.
On the top of this pole is a block and
tackle. The rope is then made fast to
the centre of the big pole on the ground,
and the horse to which the other end is
attached starts up. The pole rises in the
air, and when it gets up certain height
half a dozen of our men take hold of
the butt end and sink it into the hole.
1t takes about twenty men and horse to
put up one of these monstnrs, and we
can put up from eight to ten per day in
the city In the country, where we erect
poles all the way from forty to fifty feet,
we can raise anywhere from fifty to
seventy-five per day. As to the pay of
these men, some get $50 per month and
board, and the more expert climbers $40
per month and board The hanging of
the wire is quite a trick. The horse does
his share in stringing the wire also. We
attach the copper wire to 4 rope and
then throw the rope over dozen poles.
The horse is at the last pole, and when
he starts up the wire is drawn just as
tight as can be. The whole business is
now right down to science, even to
gripping the poles and stringing the
wires. p"

Sending Money hr Nail.

The proper way to send money by mail
is bya money order or a registered letter.
Sent in any other way it is almost GER
tain that it will be stolen, the letter con-
tanning it destroyed and no trace of it
ever found. The postal service is not re-
sponsible for these losses, and steadily
endeavors to discourage sending money
in ordinary letters. The more is sent, the
greater is the temptation to poorly paid
postal clerks to steal letters and destroy
them. The expert thief can usually tell
whether it contains money by its feeling,
but if he opens letter he has to destroy
it, whether it contains money or mot; so
that those who persist IN sending loose
hills in letters not merely run their own
risk, but they tempt men who might
otherwise remain honest, and they expose
to pilfering and loss the letters of sensi-
Die people who do not send money in that

The fashionable pet for children this
year seems to be the Mexican burrO, or
donkey, not the English donkey, which
is one of the most unruly and sometimes
the most vicious of brutes These little
animals are at all times perfectly gentle
and harmless, and are entirely free from
that characteristic propensity of the
donkey tribe of kicking and biting.
They may be somewhat SLOW and delib-
crate in their movements, but they are
never known to develop viciousness, and
for this reason they may be used by chill
dren with perfect safety. 1t is only q
short time that they have been used for
this purpose, hut now they are to be seen
at all the large watering places, and many
are the city boys who own the homely
but interesting petswhich they take with
with them on their summer vacations.
y friend of the observer, who went
out to a ranch in Colorado few years
ago, made his first visit East this sum
mer. In order to pay expenses, and
partly as a business venture, he said, he
decided 10 bring two carloads of burros
with him. There were over a hundred
in ALL He procured them of a Mexican
ranchman, who raised them in New
Mexico, at price which was almost
nominal Three weeks after he reached
New York everyone of the burros was
sold at prices ranging from $25 to 800,
according to size and beauty, and his
trip, instead Of being an expense to him,
actually left him several hundred dollars
in pocket. Most of the animals we're
sold at Newport and the various water
ing places along the New Jersey coast by
means Of agents employed by him at the
different places \ number Of these
were also sold at Coney Island, where
they have been the delight Of the young
folks who visited the Sea Beach end, and
